I don't want to hear him talking about garbage-tier food all the time. Especially when he looks bloated with fat cheeks.

I was telling someone the same thing the other day about how he reminded me of someone and I couldn't put my finger on it.

I'm sure once he gets a proper dietician he will lose the puppy fat :lol:

When you're down 30 late every game, I'm not sure why your late game scoring would mean a lot. May mean you're scoring on the 3rd team.

Per the guy that posted it, "Offensive statistics recorded 25 or more seconds after the start of a possession or an offensive rebound." Doesn't that mean that it is late shot clock attempt? If that is the case, then it means he is great at creating his shot after the plays break down.

Weird verbiage on the initial tweet. I guess it still sort of points to a potential closer but not as indicative as something akin to clutch baskets late in the game.

What will be Fultz's number? 7?

I watched the Colorado game and fultz took over with 2 minutes remaining in the game attacking the rim and getting to the ft line constantly Huskies won it in OT

His elite wingspan and I'd guess also standing reach, makes his pull up jumper tough to defend for PGs. Remains to be seen if this will translate in the pros.

As you listen to Van Hagar, I'd say:

1. Lonzo Ball

2. Dennis Smith Jr.

3. Markelle Fultz

Fultz is certainly ready to play minutes. I'm not sure he's ready to help the 76ers win. He'll have to be very good offensively to do so, given poor defensive habits, and Fultz's projected true shooting percentage is actually the worst of any top-10 pick. Particularly in transition, I expect Ball to have a more immediate impact.

Smith's numbers at North Carolina State were similar to Fultz's at Washington, and I think he's probably in a slightly better position to succeed right away playing in the Dallas Mavericks' spread pick-and-roll offense. Depending on what Dallas does in free agency, Smith is a Rookie of the Year contender.

Isn't he too right dominant? Seems like he rarely uses his left.

I'd say Ball's performance depends on how good are the guys he plays with. He's not that good when there's strong defensive pressure at him (kentucky game) while excels when opponents D is helpless in picking their poison.

I agree Ball could struggle being the main playmaker with NBA size defenders. However, Fultz was very good at being the main playmaker, he made his team so much better when he was on the floor. His teammates struggled to finish his assists. Anyway, with better teammates like Embiid, Fultz's Impact should be greater not worse. Again, people are still focusing on the sixers record expecting them to continue to lose not realizing that Fultz will be given the keys to a powerful young machine that has lacked a proper driver for awhile. His job is going to be easier not harder in that sense. He may struggle with NBA size defenders, but he has some good teammates that will help him greatly.

‪Unpopular. But I think a good comparison for Fultz is Deron Williams.Remember how Deron was elite on the PnR back then? ‬Good size at PG, scorer on 3 levels, PnR game but questionable D/motor.

Not bad, Deron was more of a pure point though.

Yes sir. But tough to say, UW team is really bad and no one to pass the ball to. Their shooters makes the worst misses.. not bricks but airballs.

So Markelle usually sleeps through most of the 1st half.. Gets down by a big margin until the defense gets relaxed then he starts scoring 1-2 minutes before the 1st half ends and usually gets into another gear by 2nd half.

Imposible to win with that UW team against good teams. You can literally leave his teammates and just zone up the D on Markelle. So Markelle's got no choice but to not force things. Man.. I don't know how bad Lonzo will look with that UW team.

Watching him play Markelle makes a lot of big time plays. He's pretty good as a closer off momentum runs like Steph that demoralizes teams.
